Description
The rapidly evolving developments in computers and information technology pose particular challenges for society and the law. This subject examines those areas of law which have a major regulatory impact on the hardware, software, and networked communications which make up information technology. Topics include the intellectual property regime (in particular copyright, patents and confidential information); technology crimes; tortious and contractual issues in relation to the supply of goods and services; data protection and privacy; regulation of the Internet; and other current issues.
